Fanfiction- Alvin and the chipmunks – "How long I can last"


Chapter 6 – "Rest of the day"


After dinner, everyone returned to their daily activities. Dave locked himself in his room and worked on a new song. He only went out when we had supper or when he wanted to go to the toilet.

Theodore spent most of the time in front of the TV watching his favourite cartoon with his teddy bear.

I, on the other hand, spent the rest of the day doing my homework. Of course, I wasn't able to do it without any obstacles. Alvin disturbed me all the time. He kept asking me if I would let him test my invention or where I hid it. He even tried to break into my laboratory!, but obviously he couldn't get around the safety features that I had installed there for such cases. I knew what I was doing while installing these things.

Nevertheless, Alvin was not giving up until late in the evening. His constant attempts to break in and persuade me to change my mind have physically exhausted him, so when he reached our bedroom, he immediately fell asleep on his bed.

Theodore joined him an hour later when his last cartoon was over.

I wanted to finish all of my homework today to have the rest of the weekend off so I couldn't go to sleep, yet.

I tried to concentrate as much as I could on completing the tasks, but my thoughts were somewhere else. At some point, my fatigue must have taken over control of my body and I felt asleep…


I was alone in the dark school hallway. No living soul was seen or heard. I walked along the lockers. Walking further, I saw a door far ahead of me. I knew it had to be an exit from that place, so I began to go in that direction, but the further I went the longer the hallway seemed to be. I started to panic slightly. I accelerated my walk, but despite this, my distance to the door didn't become shorter, on the contrary, it became even longer. Panic has taken over my mind. I didn't know what to do. All the logic was for nothing in this place. 'There is no way out! What should I do? think , think!' My mind screamed to me.

When I was consumed in my thoughts, I heard laughter...That disgusting, excited, sadistic laughter... I remembered that laugh. The one that haunts me wherever I go. Wherever I am. It is in my head every night and every day since I first heard it.

Despite my thoughts telling me not to do it! I turned my head where the sound was coming from. What I saw froze the blood in my veins. Derek stood in front of me with a cruel smile on his face. My mind was screaming 'why? Why is he here? Run! Run now!' I stood there stunned. His laughter pierced my body like thousands of needles jabbing into my body one by one. My breath was becoming more rapid with each sound...

His hand began to come towards me. I wanted to escape. My instinct told me to run away, but I couldn't. I stood there and watched in horror as his hand was approaching me. I closed my eyes… I knew it wouldn't help me, but at least it would give me some comfort.

Laughter has stopped. I felt a hand on my shoulder. My breath stopped. The hand was still on my shoulder. It was squeezing and shaking me slightly. I refused to open my eyes. I didn't want to see his face again. I held my breath hoping that the hand would disappear from my shoulder 'that Derek would disappear'... but I still felt it squeezing my arm. I was afraid... I heard a voice.

- "Simon, wake up. Wake up. It's me Theodore"

What? How is that possible? I opened my eyes. I saw Theodore's face and his hands squeezing my arm. 'So, it was just a dream... So he has to haunt me even in my dreams,, huh?' I laughed tiredly at myself in my mind.

- "Simon, are you, all right? You seemed to have a bad dream. You were struggling… badly" - Theodore said concerned. I needed a moment to understand the whole situation.

- "Sorry, Did I wake you up, Theodore?"- I asked. Theodor's cheeks started to turn bright red. He took his hands off my shoulder and hid them behind his back.

- "No, you didn't wake me up... I..i.I had a bad dream and I wanted to go to sleep with Dave, b..but I saw you sleeping on your desk... It seemed like you had a bad dream, too"- During Theodore's explanations, I realized that I must fell asleep on my desk while doing homework.

- "Did you also have a dream about what Alvin was talking about at dinner. Y.. know that the school wants to bore us to death"- Theodore asked hesitantly. I wanted to deny it right away, but knowing the Theodore, he would start asking me what my dream was about then, and I wanted to avoid it.

- "Yeah, I had that dream too… But Theodore, we have nothing to be afraid of, it was just a stupid story made up by Alvin"- Theodore stood in front of me, wriggling from one place to another. Seeing his behaviour, I knew that my words didn't help him much.

- "You said you wanted to go to Dave, didn't you?"- I asked changing the subject. Theodore looked at me and his cheeks turned even redder.

- "I.i..I wanted to, but ... ... I'm afraid to go there alone.."- Theodore said quietly. Soft smile appeared on my face.

- "Theodore, how about I go to Dave's room with you?"- Theodore's eyes started glowing like stars when he heard my proposition.

-"Really? Could you come with me, Simon?"- My little brother asked me in a hopeful voice. I laughed lightly at Theodore's expression. No matter how many times he says he's grown up, he's still acting like a small child. Honestly, I don't want him to ever change.

- "Of course, I can go with you"- Hearing these words Theodore relaxed and a big smile showed up on his face. I got up from my chair and held out my hand towards him. He grabbed it and then we went towards Dave's bedroom together.


After taking Theodore to Dave and making sure he would help my little brother, I went to sleep in my own bed hoping that this time I won't find Derek in my dreams.
